2. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

   A cascade filling system is a high-pressure gas cylinder storage system that is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders. [1] [2] In some applications, each of the large cylinders is filled by a compressor, otherwise they may be filled remotely and replaced when the pressure is too low for effective transfer. The cascade ...

3. Laboratory safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_safety

   Laboratory standard for compressed gas. Is a gas or mixture of gases in a container having an absolute pressure exceeding 40 pounds per square inch (psi) at 70 °F (21.1 °C); or [10] Is a gas or mixture of gases having an absolute pressure exceeding 104 psi at 130 °F (54.4 °C) regardless of the pressure at 70 °F (21.1 °C); or [10]

4. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

   Gas storage cylinders may also be called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid, supercritical fluid, or dissolved in a substrate material, depending on the physical characteristics of the contents. A typical gas cylinder design is elongated, standing upright on a flattened or ...

5. Safety cabinet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_cabinet

   A safety cabinet is used for the safe storage of flammable chemical substance or compressed gas cylinders. [1] Primarily, they should meet three major safety requirements: Minimize the fire risks associated with the storage of flammable substances and protect the cabinet's contents for a known (tested) minimum length of time (fire rating). It ...

6. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

   Charging an empty dive cylinder also causes a temperature rise as the gas inside the cylinder is compressed by the inflow of higher pressure gas, though this temperature rise may initially be tempered because compressed gas from a storage bank at room temperature decreases in temperature when it decreases in pressure, so at first the empty ...

7. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

   Compressed natural gas vehicles require a greater amount of space for fuel storage than conventional petrol-powered vehicles. Since it is a compressed gas, rather than a liquid like petrol, CNG takes up more space for each GGE (petrol gallon equivalent). However, the cylinders used to store the CNG take up space in the trunk of a car or bed of ...

8. Hydraulic accumulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_accumulator

   The cylinder is closed by a piston on which a series of weights are placed that exert a downward force on the piston and thereby pressurizes the fluid in the cylinder. In contrast to compressed gas and spring accumulators, this type delivers a nearly constant pressure, regardless of the volume of fluid in the cylinder, until it is empty.

9. Oxygen tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tank

   Oxygen tanks are used to store gas for: medical breathing (oxygen therapy) at medical facilities and at home (high pressure cylinder) breathing at altitude in aviation, either in a decompression emergency, or constantly (as in unpressurized aircraft), usually in high pressure cylinders; oxygen first aid sets, in small portable high pressure ...
